Christmas 2015
Hi guys,I hope you all will be understanding when I say that it is too difficult for me to write in these next few blog posts. I know I would still like to remember the good parts so maybe in the future I will add words.

Christmas Eve Traditions (or not)
Hi guys,
I really should have posted the next few post you will be reading back when they happened. My mood since then has drastically changed. Quite a nosedive, but I would still like to get these happy in the moment moments out there.
Christmas Eve I did have to work, but thankfully everything worked out. I finished my cleaning duties as fast as I could and raced home to be ready to listen to Schatzi's mom read The Littlest Angel. This is a tradition she has with her family that I can say I am honored to have been allowed to partake in for the last two years. When everyone arrived at their house Schatzi FaceTimed me so that I could listen and see to be a part of the magic they have on Christmas Eve. The children do their best to stay quiet as they eat their cookies and try to keep focus on the book. FaceTime was the next best thing, still far from, to being there in person. I hope she doesn't mind this photo I took. It was a moment I wanted to remember forever. I had wanted to one day be there and be a part of their loving family. Now, this seems to have been my last time being a part of their traditions.
On a happier note, after the reading my parents, dog and I got in the car to drive around to look at the Christmas lights. It was too cold to get out to take better photos so I hope you all understand. Odd thing is that we all went so Mimi could see the lights. Believe it or not my dog actually gets upset when you don't open the window for her to stick her face out of to see the lights better. It was sweet to see her so excited and happy.
